Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

French can be paired with Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy. French wine is just as diverse as French food, but you rarely go wrong with champagne. If your meal calls for a white wine, you might also try a white burgundy. For a red, try a red bordeaux blend. You could try Les Hauts de Lagarde Bordeaux Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.
